A reminder that the Top 25 Marketing Blogs are ranked according to the number of sites/blogs linking to each, according to Technorati. The number you see after the blog name is how many sites/blogs Technorati claims have linked to the blog in the last 6 months. After that number is a positive or negative number, and this represents how many links the blog gained or lost from last week's Top 25. The final stat tells you what position the blog held in the Top 25 Last Week (LW). If you see this; (LW - UR), it means the blog wasn't ranked last week.

The Top 25 appears to be treading water as we head into 2008. As we close out 2007, I would have to say that Conversation Agent is looking like the 'hot' blog for the new year. Often a blog will shoot up in the countdown, then fade back down a bit. But CA has consistently marched up the countdown, never having huge run-ups, and never shedding big links either. Also, Search Engine Guide continues to slowly but surely chip away at Duct Tape Marketing's lead for the #2 spot.

Another blog that's been flying a bit under the radar is Experience Curve. A few weeks ago EC fell out of the Top 25, but has now climbed back up to #18, and is taking a similar 'slowly but surely' approach that CA is. Also, CK's Blog has a big jump up to #20, topped only by Logic+Emotion, which reclaims the #4 spot.
